Large Pena Blanca Point from Colombia

Here we have a large and chunky Pena Blanca point, excellent for mounting in a cabinet display or resting on a desktop pillow as accent decor. At nearly 7" long and 435 grams, this one is too large to ignore, and the clarity is stunning. A piggy-backing penetrator combination visible near the base adds plenty of character. Tiny crystals growing on the backside represent secondary growth.  

Pena Blanca

Peña Blanca quartz comes from the Peña Blanca Mine in San Pablo de Borbur, Boyacá Department, Colombia. It is renowned for its outstanding clarity and fine shaping of individual quartz points. Pena Blanca points can range in size from an inch or two and up to a couple of feet. Marked by horizontal striations on the sides, called Lemurian Quartz in some cirles, these points are often defined by very sharp dramatic points as well as those lines.
